Abstract
BARBEIRO, Sandra et al. Schwannoma: A Rare Subepithelial Lesion of the Colon. GE Port J Gastroenterol [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.2, pp.70-74. ISSN 2341-4545. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpge.2015.01.006.
Schwannoma is a benign tumor arising from Schwann cells that form the neural sheath. Primary schwannoma of the colon is rare and a few cases have been reported. We report a case of schwannoma of the colon and present the differential diagnosis that must be considered in the evaluation of colonic subepithelial lesions.
